Recently Completed

Urn 6" by 12"


Last May Toni and I took the van to Lincolnshire for a visit to Adam and Petra's house for a fun run. I came across a large woodpile and was kindly offered a few log sections to take home.

The body of the urn is spalted horse chestnut from one of the logs with a cap of laburnum and a beech finial from my firewood pile. Finished with Chestnut wax. Right click on the caption for a larger view in Flickr.

(Thanks Adam and Petra!)

It is beautiful, and light and lovely to touch. But you need a scale as it's not 4 inches tall, but 14!

It looks absolutely gorgeous Billy - come and visit us again and get some more wood to transform! The beer's cold and waiting for you two.
